So I have an announcement for all who still follow me here on SG. This might get lengthy.
I've come to a very big decision and I'm here one last time to tell you all I'm leaving. As hard as it is to say, I can't continue to pursue what I came here for. When I joined, I felt that I was going to be a part of something empowering to women. I wanted to inspire people like me to embrace and love themselves and their bodies and show people that it's okay to love who you are and be the best they can be. I wanted to be a part of something huge and be a part of a place that I fit in but to be completely real, I'm not exactly having those feelings here anymore. I feel like nothing I do here is enough anymore and I've submitted countless sets for SuicideGirls and I have yet to have one single set be proudly published since my first set when I joined. I feel like the money I spent for my sets and backbreaking effort isn't enough. I'm watching people go pink in the blink of an eye when I'm told everyone has a fair waiting period and chance at what they came here for. I'm watching other women go on tour with the burlesque, an ultimate dream of mine, and I've been sitting here for a year feeling unnoticed by the SG staff. I actually feel lied to. To be frank, I don't feel like SuicideGirls is what it use to be/is what I saw when I wanted to join the community several years ago. I feel it has changed and these are my personal views and opinions. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for those women. All the power to them, it's a huge accomplishment and I'm sure it's an exciting adventure. However, I don't exactly see this as fair when I browse through women who have been hopeful since 2011. Seriously? Anyways, my first year ends in a month or two. I don't wish to come back and pay for my account if my efforts are to be swept under the rug. I can't afford to pay AND work for nothing. Not to mention, I have a lot of goals and bigger things on my plate right now in the real world that I'm beginning to pursue which leaves me no time for this anymore. I'm about to officially begin my dog grooming career, potentially pick up on the long desired tattoo apprenticeship I've waited for, and just all together get very serious in my life. So in conclusion, I'm going to leave this page here until my year is up, and then I think they take it down if I don't start paying as a member? Regardless, I'm not going to give this site my money. I'm not going to support what this site had turned into. I'm not going to call myself a hopeful anymore. I'm probably not even going to come back to read any comments that might be left on this blog post. I've done plenty of research as well and I'm honestly disgusted at what I've read and learned. I don't agree with this anymore and I'm being completely honest. I feel belittled to an extent. I will say one last thing though. A sincere thank you to those who followed me up to this point. It still means a lot to me and a lot of people have been very kind to me but this just isn't right anymore. And thank you to anyone who really read this whole thing. Take care everyone.
